Abstract
Fruits and vegetables with the similar weight and uniform shape are in high demand in terms of marketing value. Therefore, an awareness of grading fruits and vegetables based on weight is crucial. A part of this research was aimed to present some physical properties of Iranian Fava bean. In addition, in this study the mass of Iranian Fava bean variety was predicted with using different physical characteristics in four models includes: Linear, Quadratic, S-curve, and Power. According to the results, all properties considered in the current study were found to be statistically significant at the 1% probability level and the best and the worst models for prediction the mass of Fava bean were based on third projected area and first projected area of the Fava bean with determination coefficients of 0.819 and 0.152, respectively. At last, mass model based on third projected area from economical standpoint is recommended.
